2022, May 31st - rmac 2.2.2 released.

Changes since last release:

  • ds directive now works with expressions that have undefined symbols (as long as they are resolved by the end of assembling)
  • equr has been overhauled and now works with all target architectures
  • Label names clashing with register names is now restricted to target architecture register names. As an example, this means that a label name of “a:” is now illegal only if the selected architecture has a register name “a” (at the time of writing: DSP56001 and 6502)
  • Printing a listing with -l* now doesn’t print \f characters when printing the symbol table
  • Register and Condition Code equates are now not exported as symbols

2022, May 11th - Syntax highlighting.

There now exists syntax highlighting support for the editor 10x. If you have the editor installed, simply download rmac.10x_syntax and place it in your %APPDATA%\roaming\10x\Settings\SyntaxHighlighting folder. By default it works for .s files but it can be easily changed to support other extensions as well

    • New optimisation flags introduced targetting the 56001
    • O10 enables the use of short format for immediate values (when possible)
    • O11 automatically converts short addressing mode to long
    • O10 (also known as Op) moved to O30
